Can You Have Granola on the Paleo Diet?
The answer is yes, as long as it is grain free and made with natural sweetener. This Vegan Paleo Granola Recipe is made with nuts, seeds and maple syrup . . . making it Paleo compliant and vegan.
There are store bought Paleo granolas that you could look into. But, I find homemade granola to taste so much better than the store bought varieties because of freshness.
How Do You Make Paleo Granola?
Easy. It’s like making regular granola just without the oats. Mix up your nuts and seeds. Then stir in the spices, oil and sweetener. Bake then stir in the dried fruit. That’s it!
Can you use different nuts and seeds?
Yes, if you love walnuts add some. Pistachios . . . go for it! Really you can swap in any nut or seed that you prefer or happen to have on hand.
Do you have to use maple syrup?
No, you can use honey. In fact, honey will make the granola stick together a bit better than maple syrup. However if you choose to use honey this granola will no longer be vegan.
How do you store this paleo granola?
Store it in an airtight jar, container or bag. Eat within a couple weeks before it begins to get stale.

You will need a Sharp Knife, Good Cutting Board and a Rimmed Baking Sheet
